Version: 0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages A feature I was used to use with RawShooter is the possibility to tag, rate, rotate and and mark for deletion within the slideshow. This is very useful to do a first run through of a heap of pictures. Unsharp or in some other way obvious unusable images can be marked for deletion with one click. Also the pictures can be rotated that way. That's very useful, especially if your camera has no auto-rotation or tends to rotate wrong. If there's some more time (or you do a second run through) you also can tag and rate them very comfortable. RawShooter also shows some EXIF information. That's useful but I think that has a lower priority than the things above.
Rating and rotation you can make in Preview mode and using FullScreen with keyboard shortcuts.
And in Slideshow you can display some info about image - more in Settings->Slideshow dialog.
#2: Yes, I've found that. #1: And deletion works, too. But it's far harder to assess the sharpness in fullscreen preview mode than in a slideshow (depending on screen resolution). In my case the shortcuts didn't work at all and the context menu rotated 180 degrees, but I have something in mind that that was another bug mentioned somewhere.
Sharpness: why harder? when you will turn off everything - toolbar, thumbbar, etc. you have the same size as in slideshow. (+- few pixels depending on window decoration strategy). Maybe you should turn on Settings->Album View->Misc Options (bottom of dialog): Embedded preview loads full-sized images?
Oh, thank you. That's an unexpected solution but it works... Maybe I should be a bit more creative using digiKam ;-)
The only thing you miss from original list is tag assignment. That could be realized by keyboard shortcut for 'New tag' dialog (btw - strange that there is no possibility to do so) + removal of warning about existing tags.
I think tagging is not too important here, although it clearly would be useful in some cases. RESOLVED/WORKSFORME?
OK, I will close this report and open separate about tags from keyboard.
